Subject: DEFACERS CHALLENGE: Expert Source - What Companies Can Do
Date: 07/03/03 10:13 AM
Good morning, XXXX.
Saw your article this morning on the mass hacker attacks set for Sunday.
If you're planning any follow-up articles, I'd like to offer an expert source
for you to speak with. Caleb Sima is the co-founder and chief technology officer
of SPI Dynamics, the leader in web application assessment security.
Caleb can speak to you about steps companies can take to minimize the effect of
any hacker attacks. Because hackers are using application holes to get in,
companies must ensure their apps are secure so there are no holes to exploit. The
way to do this is to assess your applications, either physically or with an app
assessment tool, and to read and follow-up on OWASP guidelines. There are also
very simple steps to check for sequel injection and cross site scripting that Caleb
can touch on.
Let me know if you're interested in a brief conversation with Caleb. He'd be happy
to answer any of your questions.
Thanks,
John
